Licences and upgrades for catagories B, C & D;
B must be done first in all cases.
B+E is the next one up but can be missed out as it will be included in either C1+E, C+E, D1+E or D+E
C1 (LGV 7.5) or D1 (PCV minibus) are the next 2 up but again, can be missed out, as, depending which is taken (LGV or PCV), will be included in either C or D
C1+E (LGV 7.5 with trailer) or D1+E (PCV minibus with trailer) are the next 2 up but again, can be missed out, as, depending which is taken (LGV or PCV), will be included in either C+E or D+E
C (LGV rigid over 7.5) or D (PCV over 17 seats) are the next 2 up and must be taken before doing C+E or D+E
Passing a D auto AND a C manual in any order will result in BOTH being manual
C+E or D+E are the final stages in the process and can only be taken if C or D, depending which is taken (LGV or PCV), are passed first.
Passing a C+E will give D+E if, or when, D is passed but passing D+E will not give C+E if, or when, C is passed.
Passing C+E will give B+E and C1+E
Passing D+E will give B+E and D1+E
All these catagories may not not be shown on the licence but they are there by inference.
I think I’ve said all that correctly - please correct me if wrong.
